Chapter 558: The Two Sides Meet

~8 min read 1,423 words

Upon hearing the information transmitted by the clone at the very moment it was about to dissipate, the Three Dukes, Fu, Lu, and Shou, were instantly enraged.

A mere Supreme actually dared to attack the Three Immortals Sect while they were away, and even had the audacity to claim to be the Sect Master of the Three Immortals Sect, attempting to lord over them? Where did such gall come from!

Even if you are an Invincible One among the Supremes, you cannot!

The next moment, they calmed down again.

No, for this Supreme to act so recklessly, there must be a reason; either there is some trump card they cannot foresee, or there is simply more than one person.

They must deliberate on this matter at length.

"The ten people who suddenly appeared behind us are following us; it seems they want to use us to leave the Hexinquyu."

Shou Lao said calmly.

"You mean..."

The other two Elders were puzzled. They naturally knew this, but what did it have to do with that arrogant Supreme? Could it be that they were in league with each other?

"When I first observed them, I noticed they also showed confusion and surprise when they arrived here; it is very likely they were suddenly teleported to the Hexinquyu due to some accident. But relying on themselves alone, they absolutely cannot leave the Hexinquyu and escape danger. Unless, like now, they have the three of us to lead the way."

Shou Lao said with a smile.

"You mean to drive the wolf to devour the tiger?"

Fu Lao and Lu Lao's eyes lit up as they spoke.

"Exactly, that is it. That Supreme who provoked us is clearly very powerful; according to the information from the clone, he is suspected to be an Invincible One among the Supremes, and may even be hiding other trump cards. This is very thorny for us; it is best not to face him directly."

"It just so happens that these ten people now have to beg us to lead the way for them so they can leave the Hexinquyu and escape that Great Terror. We can use this as leverage to make a deal, letting these ten people deal with that Supreme."

"And incidentally, we can also probe the background of these ten people."

The two Elders nodded, feeling that this method was good.

Although none of these ten people were Supremes, and the strongest among them was only a half-step Supreme, they gave them a sense of extreme danger regarding Life and Death. They were clearly not simple, as mysterious as that Supreme, and suitable to be used as pawns.

"But what if both sides are in league with each other?"

Fu Lao raised a question.

"Wouldn't that be perfect? If it is confirmed they are in league, we can completely trip these ten people up and delay them, letting them die under the Great Terror." Shou Lao said indifferently.

Having made up their minds, the three nodded and stopped.

The group of Number One, who were chasing from behind, saw these three Supremes stop and felt puzzled. This was still a relatively dangerous area; why would these three Supremes stop?

"Everyone, you must be tired from following the three of us. Why don't we stop for a moment and have a good talk. We have already run for some distance, and that Great Terror will take some time to catch up."

Shou Lao smiled slightly.

"This Supreme, what do you want?"

Number One, who was in the lead, stood out and said in a calm voice.

Everyone was a shrewd person, so there was no need to put on an act. They were all fleeing for their lives yet stopped halfway; it was clearly because they wanted to demand benefits from them, otherwise why would they do this?

"Good, truly straightforward! I ask you, do you recognize this person?" Shou Lao waved his large hand, manifesting the image of Li Heng transmitted by his clone.

The Sacred ones with Number One frowned; another Supreme?

"This should be another Supreme, right? However, we do not recognize him." Number One answered frankly, without concealing anything. He did not want to waste time; there was still a Great Terror behind them.

"Please swear by the Great Dao."

Fu Lao spoke, his voice cold.

The Sacred ones with Number One were somewhat dissatisfied. They were merely three Supremes, still cannon fodder under a Forbidden Weapon; how dare they be so arrogant? And they even wanted them to take a Great Dao oath?

However, this was no loss to them, and it was not worth falling out with these three, so they all took the Great Dao oath to prove that what they said was true.

After hearing this, the Three Elders Fu, Lu, and Shou looked pleasantly surprised. Since these ten extremely dangerous Sacred ones and that Supreme were not in league, the subsequent plan could proceed smoothly.

"Fellow Daoists are indeed straightforward."

"Now, the three of us have a request. Please help us kill this person. In return, we will lead you to escape the Hexinquyu, keep you away from danger, and we can even agree to one request from you that is not too excessive. How about it?"

Shou Lao's expression softened slightly as he put forward his request.

"Has this Supreme offended you?"

Number One frowned deeply.

It was true that by using a Forbidden Weapon, they could indeed kill a Supreme, but there was a corresponding price to pay for the consumption. Once the consumption was too high, it might affect their mission to find rare items.

However, this place was also very dangerous, and time and space were in chaos. They had tried just now; they could not determine the exact time-space coordinates, and relying on their own power, they could not get out.

Even if they could get out, it would require using a large number of trump cards, which was not worth it at all. It would be better to just agree to the request of these three Supremes; it was just one Supreme, kill him and that would be that.

Shou Lao nodded.

He embellished what Li Heng had done, saying that Li Heng had attacked for no reason and occupied their sect, which was simply heinous and too numerous to record.

The Sacred ones with Number Ten could not be bothered to pay attention to such words that could not be more fake; it was just eliminating dissent, yet he spoke so nicely. However, after communicating with each other, they still agreed to Shou Lao's request.

They each took a Great Dao oath.

The three of Fu, Lu, and Shou were to help them leave the Hexinquyu and escape danger, and they could not attack them. In return, they were to help Fu, Lu, and Shou deal with Li Heng.

This was the most efficient plan for them.

"Not bad, not bad, keep it up."

At this moment, Li Heng's voice rang out. It was the very image of Li Heng that Shou Lao had manifested just now that was speaking; it did not know when it had come to life, looking at them with a smiling expression.

Shou Lao was suddenly startled and hurriedly shattered this image of Li Heng. He searched the Void with his Divine Sense and cut off the time-space connection, only relaxing after finding no abnormalities.

However, this situation also left everyone silent for a long time.

This Supreme seemed to be quite strong.

In the Wujinshijiehai, above the Three Immortals Sect.

Li Heng withdrew his gaze and shook his head. It was not his true self there, so he could not exert the full strength of his true self; it was difficult to descend there relying on an image.

Otherwise, he would have wiped them all out in one go.

However, besides those Three Elders Fu, Lu, and Shou, there were ten Sacred ones who were somewhat mysterious and somewhat dangerous? And observing that aura, it seemed to give him a sense of familiarity? He had experienced this feeling when he used the Strange Fire Pile to track back.

Could it be that someone from the Multiverse Alliance has come?

Did they borrow the path of the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation, drill directly into the Hexinquyu of the Ten Thousand Worlds Great Reincarnation, and run into the Three Elders of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity?

Interesting, Li Heng looked at the "weirdo" before him and revealed a smile.
